 You Auto Check It Out |
1015, Bannock Street Denver, CO 80204 United States +1 303 534 7000 http://www.bannockstreetgarage... |
You don't need to be a grease monkey to tool around the fun atmosphere of Bannock Street Garage, where you can step up to the tire rack-edged bar and order a foaming mug of motor oil – ah, make that Stroh's. The owners decided to turn the former auto mechanic shop into a tavern and kept several of the features of the place: the engine boom that hovers overhead, the garage doors that are opened on occasion, and related signs. Show up Monday through Friday for the 2p-6p happy hour, but don't ask for an oil change. -Theresa Ludwick Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Taste the Wild West |
1000 Osage Street Denver, CO 80204-3918 United States +1 303 534 9505 http://www.buckhorn.com |
This establishment holds the oldest liquor license in the state, and it has been in operation for more than a century. Countless American icons have eaten here, including the legendary Wild Bill Cody. Be aware that the dining room walls are festooned with mounted animal trophy heads, which some diners find as uncomfortably distracting. The menu offers some eye-opening fare such as rattlesnake and fried alligator tail. If you prefer the traditional, tenderloin, T-bone and New York strip options abound. It is also the place to try Colorado favorites like elk and buffalo. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Irish setting |
1735 19th Street, Suite 150 Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 297 0066 http://www.fadoirishpub.com |
Everything from the music to the old-fashioned Irish whisky will remind you of the Emerald Island. When the owners made the pub, they set out to make an Irish experience and by all accounts did not fail. The dining and drinking areas were actually constructed in Ireland and shipped to Denver. If you need a "I-am-in-Denver" reality check, grab a seat on the deck and get an awesome view of Coors Field. Entree selections include corned beef and cabbage, Cottage Pie, Gaelic Steak and an all-day Irish breakfast. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Romantic spot atop the Tattered Cover |
2955 East First Avenue Denver, CO 80206 United States +1 303 322 1824 |
Located in the heart of Cherry Creek, on the fourth floor of the Tattered Cover Bookstore, this place is a literary and wine lover's paradise. Bookshelves line the walls, and more than 200 different wines are available by the bottle, including 35 by the glass. The menu offers a variety of dishes that place an emphasis on presentation. Oven-roasted mussels, grilled swordfish, sesame marinated tofu and a honey glazed chicken are just a few of the menu highlights.

Dueling pianos |
1735 19th Street Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 291 0880 http://www.rockbottomrestauran... |
If you are in town with a big group and looking for a riotous time, Sing Sing is the place to say good-bye to your inhibitions and live out your star fantasies. Two dueling pianists compete for your laughs and voices. They cover everything from show tunes to rock-n-roll to the latest pop. The frat house atmosphere is contagious even for the most refined club goers. Rowdy crowds pack the place, so arrive early for a front table. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sports fans delight |
1930 Blake Street Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 296 1930 |
Wander down to this sports bar if you want to watch your favorite team, for it offers five big screen televisions. A typical bar food menu offers big portions at small prices, making it perfect for groups. Bronco fans fill up the room on Sundays in autumn, so beware of showing other team allegiances; the people here are overbearingly obnoxious with their Bronco adoration. The rooftop patio bar provides refuge from the sports scene and a dance floor draws an older crowd on Friday and Saturday nights. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In style with the Mod Squad |
1501 East Colfax Avenue At Humbolt Street Denver, CO 80218 United States +1 303 861 9103 |
This pub in London offers a British style atmosphere in the heart of Capitol Hill. Flying the Union Jack every day of the year, bartenders pour pints of Guinness, Newcastle and Boddingtons to customers often cloning the fashions of the Mod Squad. On Thursdays, DJ Ouid completes the transformation with a tremendous mix of old and new favorites from Britain, including the Smiths, Blur, the London Suede and Pulp. It is anglophile heaven. Of course, you can order chips from the bar menu. Average costs from USD2.50. Review © 2007, Wcities |
